- template for Basic Registration information

Synopsis

registration.profile

Description

The registration profile is a template for the information provided for Basic
Registration. The information in this template is consumed by the sconadm(1M) utility. sconadm
is the command-line alternative to the Basic Registration GUI.

An example of the registration profile template is provided in /usr/lib/breg/data/RegistrationProfile.properties. This
file is owned by root, with read-only permissions. As root, you can
copy the file to a location of your choosing and edit the
file.

Values are not required for every property. The filling in or leaving
blank a property depends on the task you intend to perform. Possible
tasks are registering a new system, reregistering a system, and establishing a
proxy. See sconadm(1M) for examples.
